Why renewable energy?
Our energy needs for heating, cooling, lighting and appliances are currently met mainly through fossil fuels.
Domestic, corporate & commercial power consumption is a big contributor to global warming through CO2 emissions caused by fossil fuel use.
In SA, the power grid infrastructure is no longer able to reliably bear the growing demand for energy, which has contributed to repeated power-cuts in recent years.
However, through clever building design, energy needs can be reduced significantly.
Using renewable energy sources, buildings can also generate energy for selected systems and appliances. This means that offices and homes can continue to run essential appliances despite power cuts.
